It's an all too common experience these days; you're surfing the web and thinking about purchasing a new fitted kitchen, set of golf clubs or a last minute city break to New York then you get back to work but for some reason, all the websites you now look at, are showing you ads by SuperAdRomove for the very same products that you have just been looking at. Weird, isn't? After all, how does your computer know how to show you these adverts?

Welcome to the wonderful world of advertising supported software, or adware.

What is SuperAdRomove?

SuperAdRomove is a computer program that has been designed to display or download adverts on your computer screen. And these SuperAdRomove adverts are the ones which are not so coincidentally marketing products and services that you are already familiar with. So how do they do this?

Well, from pop-up windows, to "Ads by SuperAdRomove" displayed on the page, to banner adverts, the adverts you are seeing are the result of a little bit of technological espionage.

Yes – SuperAdRomove spies on you

So here's the deal. SuperAdRomove usually finds its way on to your PC by being bundled with another program, file or application. And these can be anything from fun games to useful lifestyle apps and from work tools such as PDF viewers to torrents and peer to peer files that contain movies or music. It doesn't matter whether you're downloading, installing or upgrading, adware can be secreted anywhere.

In a nutshell, you install the program or app that you do want and, unknown to you, the SuperAdRomove adware will be hidden in the download file. And alongside the adware will be a tracking component that has been designed to monitor what you are looking at when you are online.

But who creates adware and why do they care what you are looking at? Well, believe us, they care – a lot – because online marketing and advertising is a massive money spinning industry and by tailoring adverts to your current interests and potential purchases, the programmers are more likely to illicit a click through and possibly a sale from you. And even if you don't buy anything, they are still driving that all important traffic to their chosen site.

Adware: the money machine

So what's in it for the programmer if they are simply directing you to a website owned by a brand or other third party? For start, many adware programmers develop apps that they give away for free. Either that or they share files without charging a nominal sum. But they need to make money somehow so they create adware in conjunction with their app or the program and either sell it on to a third party, or they include it in their own product. If they include it with an app or tool they have created they will often let you pay to upgrade to an adware free version.
